During 2018 the artisans achieved an income of $ 26,974 MM derived from initiatives such as participation in fairs organized by Artesanías de Colombia ( A government institution responsible for the promotions and development of the country's artisanal and craft sector), in association with third parties, exhibition and promotion spaces, and facilitated income and business rounds.
Moreover, the Colombian government encourages artisans to use the intellectual property system to protect their creative works and obtain just remuneration for their efforts while also preserving the country's national patrimony for future generations.

She stressed the importance for a country like Colombia of "working hand-in-hand with WIPO for the protection of our cultural expressions."
